GLK 250 115v REAR OUTLET HELP!
Hello all,
my 115v rear outlet stopped working after plugging in something with too much voltage. Does anyone know of a reset/relay switch? I've checked all related fuses and they are intact. Thanks in advance.

It will usually reset its self if you unplug what ever in plugged in turn the key off and removing it from the ignition switch! wait a few mins and start the suv backup, you will see the green light glowing again over the outlet. The outlet has a very low wattage rating. I have a Wi-Fi device plugged into mine I've tried other things suck as laptop etc none of them will charge

I believe there are two fuses, one feeds a circuit to tell the inverter when to be available, and the second to supply power for the inverter itself. There is no manual reset. (I have the complete setup sitting on a bench because I intend to add 12V and 120volt power to by bare bones GLK.) If it isn't a fuse, then I suspect the inverter is toast. What exactly did you plug into it? "Something with too much voltage" doesn't make sense.

I have a small 120 volt air freshener (with the little glass bottle) that stays plugged in to mine. You know, the kind that plugs into a wall outlet in the house :-)

Circular saw = too much current.
The inverter is behind the side panel near the plug. I didn't look inside to see if there was a fuse or anything. Did you confirm the big fuse in the panel in the spare tire well is good? Do you have any indicator light on the outlet itself?
You (like I) can probably find an inverter at a junk yard. It's an easy swap once you get the panel out.

The operator's manual states that the connected device should draw less than 150 watts. It also mentions that devices that consume more power than that at start up, which I previously alluded to, will not operate. A circular saw will easily consume 1000 to 2000 watts and maybe more depending on blade size/motor size. I certainly suspect some safety device has been "triggered" such as a fuse. Otherwise you're asking for a possible fire. Merc. ain't gonna allow that.
